with them, gave me an entirely new idea
of their character | had unconsciously
formed my estimation of them from the
traditions regarding them common to this
day all over continental Europe They are
always alluded to as the bugbears of the
human race, and their name, the symbol of
all that is cruel, is used as potent terror
to keep runaway children at home and to
brighten them into obedience. | expected
to find them, not child eaters, to be sure,
as they have been popularity reported in
the nurseries, but at least barbarous, I'M
warrantably cruel, and distinctly uncivilized

r to western frontiersmen This is not

REQUIEM.
and softly a requiem sing
~ the thousands of heroes dead;
Rarest OF flowers in plentitude bring
In remembrance of those who bled
Toll for the loyal, the brave and the Just,
Who so nobly their work have done,
Peace be for aye to their slumbering dust,
And enduring the fame they won.
March to the sound OF the deep muIled drums,
And the sweet strains of music low;
Year after year when the May-day comes
Your memorial offerings strow
Plant ye the evergreen close by the tomb
And the place let the rose adorn:
Dews that are sparkling on white lilies bloom
Drop as tears on the sod at morn.
Woodbine, arbutus and amaranth rare
In beauteous circlet weave;
Sweet mgnonette and the violet fair
On the grave of the soldier leave.
Gently the winds through the low-bending boughs
ofthe wilow-tree sighingly blow
Wreaths of the cypress entwine maidens brows
Who their bright floral gifts bestow.
keep ye their hieniofies green as the trees
That are growing around the graves,
Fresh as the vcrdure that springtimes soft breeze
In tremulous motion waves.
Weave then your garlands your tear drops let fall
On the mounds where the patriots lie;
Do not forget those who left home-friends-all
y In the South, coming here to die.
Hearts are subdued-yet no drear feelings steal
Der the mind like dsconsolate grief
There is a sadness that's sweeter to feel
Than the gayest emotions of life.
- Strew then your accommodating still
In the heart should be found the flowers
Love for each other, generous good will
To gladden. life's heeting hours.

ugees from oppression increased very fast,
and although they numbered many differ
ent classes and races of people-victims of
religious persecution, fugitives from the
cruelty of lords and masters, deserters,
criminals, and outlaws-they soon united
into more or less homogeneous mass, es-
sentially Russian in character, for the lar
ger part of them were Russians, but utterly
opposed in political creed to the existing
government. They formed, as it were, a
republic within monarchy, state within
state, always calling themselves Russians,
although maintaining their independence
of Russian rule. As they grew to be form
liable in numbers they spread rapidly over
the country, and at last established them
selves as a kind of military republic in
southern Russia, and declared themselves
defenders against savage tribes and Turks.
Their usefulness to Russia as defenders of
the frontier was by no means imaginary.
The cities of southern Russia were contin-
ually threatened by the incursions of Ash
attic barbarians, and frequently sought the
aid of the Cossacks to protect them against
these attacks. Great numbers of young
men from these cities, irresistibly attracted
by the wild, free life of the borders, Joined
the body of Cossacks, which was then, as
it is now, close corporation.
Complaints of their lawlessness were
showered upon the Gar Alexis, and in
1866 he persuaded some of them to come
to Moscow, and then sent them against
Poland and Riga-the first service ever
performed by Cossacks in the Russian army.
Nearly century later various advanced
posts were established by the government
in the country occupied by these Yak Cos
sacks. They, considering this to be de-
liberate Infringement of their rights, stirred
up a powerful rebellion, and for about thir-
ty years successfully opposed the Russian
arms, pillaging the country of the Volga,
and even threatening Moscow This final
struggle for Cossack independence ended
in the year of the declaration of American
independence The Russians effectually
suppressed the rebellion, captured and exc
cuted the leader, Pugatcheff, and changed
the name of the river and province from
Yak to Ural, the latter punishment, simple
as it may seem, having a certain refine
ment Of cruelty in the appreciation of the
semi Oriental Cossacks Since this famous
revolt ended, the Cossacks have been peace
full subjects of the Gar, always reserving
certain traditional ri ghts and privileges for
which make them still in large
degree Independent of Russian rule. 1t
has never been possible to prevent their
foraging across the frontier, any more than
on our own borders have we hitherto found
it in our power to put an end to the pro-
miscuous acts of barbarity which have al
ways postponed perfect peace in the United
States to that time when the determination
Of the Indians shallhave removed the temp |

common custom for the youil : men station
ed in remote posts to marry the Aslatlc
girls whom they have captured as prisoners
of war or bartered for in the Oriental man
pRer. This practice of promiscuous mar
Ase has, of course, been no innonsid.rable-
element in the reservation of their practi-
cal isolation from the rest Of Russia. Then,
too. besides the mixture of blood, no trif
ling proportion of them has been admitted
to the body from the Asiatic tribes, chiefly
from the Circassians, who have, as condi-
ton of their admission, adopted the customs
of the Cossacks, and have sworn allegiance
to the Gar Possessing, then, character
istie Of both Slav and Asiatic, the great
body of Cossacks stands, as it where, on
neutral ground between European and
Asiatic, GsiT6;,lIj2ation Their allegiance to the
Russian 'sss5lGyernment does not place them
in the position of the ordinary Russian cit
izen. Instead of taxes and contributions,
they pay the government in military service,
giving certain amount of men, enlisted for
a certain length of service, in payment for
the lands on which they squat along the
rivers. Their chief officers are appointed
by the government, and their Ataman, or
General of all the Cossacks, is always
grand-duke. They have settled along the
rivers both because, in most cases, these
mark the frontier lines, and also because the
best lands lie along the watercourses. The
great mass of Cossacks is divided into nu-
merous lesser bodies, each called from the
name of the river near which it is located.
The Ural, the Don, the Volga, the Terek,
the Kuban, and several other rivers have
all given their names to communities or
provinces of Cossacks, most of which are
famous in Russian history. The Don Cos
sacks are the most heard of because they
are the most numerous. The Urals are
the richest, and the Kubans the most war
like. Both the Terek and the Kuban Cos
sacks are largely composed of pure-blooded
Circassians, speaking their native language,
wearing the native dress, cultivating the
Mohammedan religion, and protesting to be
Russian only in their allegiance to the Gar.
